Insufficient or pending connection
Keeping an existing operation running when its contracted capacity is no longer enough, while the upgrade is awaited.
What triggers it
A workshop that trips when a machine starts, an extension brought into service before the substation is upgraded, a business that has grown faster than its supply agreement.
- Usual duration
- The time the upgrade takes, generally several months.
- Hire unit
- Monthly.
What you need to know
- The problem is almost always a short peak, not an average consumption that is too high. That is exactly what a battery absorbs.
- Your electricity bill and your supplier's load curve are what actually say what is happening. We read them with you before proposing anything at all.
- The battery is connected with your electrician or your inspection body, never against them.
Supply in five stages
- 01
The call
Who: You and our hire manager
What: You describe what you need to power, over what period, and with what connection already in place. In that same conversation we tell you whether this is a case for a hired battery, or a case for something else.
- 02
The survey
Who: Our engineer, on site or from drawings
What: Heavy goods vehicle access, ground bearing capacity, available footprint, means of unloading, distance to the connection point. On a straightforward site, a drawing and photographs are enough.
- 03
The delivery
Who: Our haulier
What: The equipment arrives, it is unloaded and set down in the agreed position. The outgoing condition report is signed at that moment.
- 04
The connection
Who: Our engineer, with your electrician
What: Connection, energisation, checking of protective devices, load test. You leave with the procedure to follow and the number to call.
- 05
The collection
Who: Us
What: De-energisation, disconnection, removal, incoming condition report. The hire ends when the equipment is collected, not when you call.
When it is not the right answer
If your installation is short of power permanently rather than in peaks, what you need is an upgrade, and hiring would only postpone the expense.
